This Heirloom Hourglass is inspired by The Adirondack Park of upstate New York, home to 6-million acres of breathtaking mountains, serene lakes, and unspoiled forest. White birch is plentiful here, and the bark is a signature material of the traditional Adirondack style that adorns the area’s rustic homes, great camps, resorts, boat houses, and their furnishings. To create “The Adirondack”, we select unpeeled white birch pillars, and match them with finely finished black walnut bases using classic mortise and tenon joinery. A solid pewter maple leaf closure adorns each side, and allows you to easily open and close your hourglass. “The Adirondack” is a lovely addition to your rustic décor, and is perfect for displaying in your home, lodge, or camp. Memories of a lifetime are made on the summits, trails, and lakesides of places like those found in the Adirondacks – capture these moments, preserve the memories, and create an heirloom by filling your Heirloom Hourglass with sands or soils from a place that holds symbolic meaning to you. All Heirloom Hourglasses come with a collection kit including an individually numbered book for recording the story of your “Adirondack” Heirloom Hourglass and the contents you place within it.
